IMPROVEMENT IN STEAMERS FOR COOKING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 71,284, dated November26, 1867.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, M. O.v ORONK, of Auburn, in the State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Steamers forCooking Vegetables and Meat; and 1 hereby declare that thc following' isa true, full, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

In the annexed drawings, which make a part of this specification, Figurel represents a vertical section of my steamers.

My invention consists in the constructionand arrangement of a series ofsteam-vessels, in the manner hereinafter described.

The letters A A and B B represent four colandershaped lSteamers, eachhaving a iiange at bottom to lit into lthe top of the one beneath it. DD and O O represent a number ot'tubcs corresponding with the number of steamers, each of said tubes being made to pass through the bottom of itsrespectivel steamer at its center, and to vextend below said bottomsufficiently far to enter the top of the tube `directly below it, eachtube being made larger at top than at bottom. The two Steamers O and Oare provided with perforations d d, through which the steam after beingcondensed will return into the tubes C and O', and be conveyed back intothe kettle or generator on which my apparatus is placed.

As one of the objects of my invention is to when condensed cannot returnagain into the tubes D and D', and thus be conveyed into the generatorbelow, in which the meat is placed.

The advantages of my apparatus are twofold: first, the cooking of anynumber of vegetables without any intermingling of flavors; second, byputting neither meat nor vegetables into the steam-generator, a supplyof hot Water is always in readiness for making coffee or tea. To effectthis object, the Steamers B and B must be removed, and steamers A and A'placed over the steam-generator.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desirek to secureby Letters Patent, is-

' SoL constructing and arranging the tubes which pass through theseveral steamers that various kinds of vegetables or meats may be cookedsimultaneously without the fumes intermingling, as described.

In testimony7 that I claim the above as my own l hereby afx my signaturein the presence of two Witnesses.

M. O. ORONK.
